How the hell does henke's (correct) breakdown suggest that the film is therefore good? .
So it's not good? I'm just saying it's hard to imagine good things that come with a Leona Lewis song. And 'it markets the film to teenagers with bad music taste' doesn't seem much of the way in defense.
By the way, way to try and call someone a retard when you use the phrase 'mouth-poo'. Is that what happens when you cough too hard?

Its what happens when you talk it seems.
I've got $1000 and a Leona Lewis CD to give away to the first person who PMs me. I guess that the $1000 must be rubbish (compared to what? another $1000?) since it comes with a Leona Lewis CD.
Get out.

Ostriig - come on man, the floating cliffs were lovely. Embrace your inner prog-rock album cover hippy furry lover.
Hey, I love otherworldy scenery as much as the next person, if not more, but when an author just takes a standing piss like that without bothering with even a makeshift excuse, it kinda kills it for me, pulls me out of the experience. I mean, how hard would it have been to sneak in a quick explanation about how this or that make believe thing causes super duper quick condensation at the top of the cliffs, especially since the protagonist is supposed to be new to this stuff too? Just screams of shoddy "just 'cause" writing, and it's a pity.

I thought they were floating because they were near the flux, and they are miles up in the sky/clouds and mountains to boot. I just figured there was a lake up there somewhere, like on many mountains, that is somehow supplied by condensation/rain from the clouds. An explanation would have been nice though. I await the extended 3D Blu-Ray.
I didn't really care because when I tried to think about it in the cinema my eyes started shouting "shut up and just loooooook!"

Jesus, subjective. Don't mess with your lady, huh? Is this a sore subject for you or something?

(dances with wolves smushed together with aliens is my favorite description so far)
I think 'Fern Gully in Space' is the most accurate description I've seen.
And the movie is a turdsandwich smothered in lamesauce and glitter. None of the characters have any character and the story is trite and predictable, and just a little bit racist.

SE, please shut the fuck up.
Vivian, based on reviews, go see the fucking film or not (and I'm leaning towards not by the sounds of it). Choosing not to see a movie based on its end credit music is totally spastic and you know this.
Based on Fafhrd's review, I'm crying inside that I happened to feel this way about Avatar from the very first trailer.
I'm wondering if he even supports going to see it for the world's first glittery fully-rendered 3d turd sandwich...

Don't forget the racism! We're going for the racism. Well, and the 3D FUCKIN IMAX HOLKY FUCK.
I don't care what you jaded bitches say, I haven't agreed with a goddamn one of your Best Movies Of The Year in ten years on these forums, so I bet this is my kind of turd sandwich instead of the No Country For Grumpy Old Unwatchable Plot Shite Artfaggot Jizzfest or whatever you snobs are mooning over today. I LIKE SHINY THINGS! I LIKE ALIENS AND EXPLOSIONS! I LIKE THREE DIMENSIONS MOTHERFUCKER!
Don't try to bamboozle me with your talk! I want a basic, genre plot. I want tropes dripping from the fucking rafters. I want blatantly obvious themes and palettes. I want a big fuckin bucket of popcorn in my lap, a big fuckin pair of 3D GOGGLEAS, and a big fuckin grin on my face for three hours.
AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT I INTEND TO GET.
:D

That is some serious knights-move thinking there chum. Take more meds.
Okay. I don't give a shit about this movie but the knight is the only non linear piece. It is the only one that keeps an opponent on his toes. Sure, most idiots use it as the attack piece to take a few in the opening battle that will winnow down the amount to keep track of but the wise will save one for the final showdown. Fuck you man I'll play you anytime. You devalue at your peril.

I have absolutely no problem with this either and I'm pretty sure Fafhrd is up for this too, which is why his review scares me.
Remember, I'm the guy who had Batman Begins and Casino Royale on my top spots for a few years, so I'm all about high-level pulpy fun and popcorn cinema.
